“I need to discuss science vs. engineering. Put glibly:
In #science if you know what you are doing you should not be doing it.
In #engineering if you do not know what you are doing you should not be doing it."

― Richard Hamming, "The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn" (1997)

I'm starting to plan my fall tour. I've just said yes to a "new to me" conference outside of the world of iOS and Swift. My schedule is starting to fill up - I'm still hoping to be invited back to some of my favorites.
I've just revised my try!Swift talk on AsyncSequence. There's a lot there. I always want a talk to go well but being invited back to this conference after ten years means a lot to me and I particularly want it to justify them bringing me such a long way. #tryswift
@acf I completely understand- I will try to arrange a visit to you in September- I’ll be in London and Folkeatone in May

Flight and hotel booked for the week of WWDC.

I probably won't apply for a ticket - that week I host my own conference - meeting people like you for coffee at Philz.

Hope to see you there.

@SergKoren Thank you - let's compare notes as we go if you think it will motivate us. I am, so far, enjoying the journey

Relearning the lesson that the problem isn't always where you think it is - this time while learning to sketch buildings. Also, remembering early Zefrank, great advice, reliving WWDC when it had a playlist, Thurber and White ask "Is sex necessary", Manoush wonders why it seems everyone has ADHD, Maggie links to a border crossing cat, and Natalia has a new book on SwiftUI.
